The Phonograph sobbed. "Tell you what, you shameless madman? You've had your satisfaction, what else is there for me to say to you?"

"Don't touch my belly! I ate too much today!"
"My dear, please just say something," Li Banfeng urged, touching the cabinet door at the back.
"And don't touch the Peach either, it's sore!" the Phonograph sang out, slowly and irritably. "My lord, since you have dealings with the Local Deity, you must know that advancing from the Ninth Layer requires undergoing a tribulation."
"I am aware of that," he replied.
"My lord, do you know that undergoing this tribulation is an ordeal with a slim chance of survival?"
"I know that as well."
"My lord, do you know that even if you succeed in the tribulation, you will still have to suffer in the Inner State?"
